NMDA receptors mediate glutamatergic neurotransmission and are therapeutic targets due to their involvement in a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Here, we describe the design and synthesis of a series of (R)-3-(5-furanyl)carboxamido-2-am

Small molecule inhibitors of pre-mRNA splicing are important tools for identifying new spliceosome assembly intermediates, allowing a finer dissection of spliceosome dynamics and function. Here, we identified a small molecule that inhibits human pre-mRNA splicing at an intermediate stage during conversion of pre-catalytic spliceosomal B complexes into activated Bact complexes. Characterization of the stalled complexes (designated B028) revealed that U4/U6 snRNP proteins are released during activation before the U6 Lsm and B-specific proteins, and before recruitment and/or stable incorporation of Prp19/CDC5L complex and other Bact complex proteins. The U2/U6 RNA network in B028 complexes differs from that of the Bact complex, consistent with the idea that the catalytic RNA core forms stepwise during the B to Bact transition and is likely stabilized by the Prp19/CDC5L complex and related proteins. Taken together, our data provide new insights into the RNP rearrangements and extensive exchange of proteins that occurs during spliceosome activation.

Phenotypic HTS campaigns with a blood stage malaria assay have been used to discover novel chemotypes for malaria treatment with potential alternative mechanisms of action compared to existing agents. N1-(5-(3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)furan-2-yl)-N3,N3-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine, 1 was identified as a modest inhibitor of P. falciparum NF54 (IC50= 875 nM) with an apparent long plasma half-life after high dose oral administration to mice, although the compound later showed poor metabolic stability in liver microsomes through ring- and side chain-oxidation and N-dealkylation. We describe here the synthesis of derivatives of 1, exploring the influence of substitution patterns around the aromatic ring, variations on the alkyl chain and modifications in the core heterocycle, in order to probe potency and metabolic stability, where 4k showed a long half-life in rats.
